We always like to start on the Metolius because it is our home waters, and our favorite place in the world. The afternoon hatches of BWO #18 and Cinygmula #14-16 have been good, and October Caddis #8-10, Silver Stripe Sedge #12-14 and some smaller Grey Caddis #14-16 are all in the mix for you to match at one stage or another.
Nymphing has been tremendously good. Eggs, Spanish Nymphs, Walt’s Worm, Perdigons, Zebra Midges, Micro Mayfly, Golden Stones, McGee’s Girdle Bug and a mix of Caddis Pupa’s to match the hatch.
Most dry fly action at the moment is from noon to 3:30. If we get the 50 degree days later in the week that might help see some early evening dry fly bite too.
Bull Trouting on Streamers is still money. Swing the big stuff and get down to the fish with a sink tip on a 7 or 8 weight rod.
